When do you consider something "Kiddie"?

[Terminate421]

I only consider it when I realize who the humor or the marketing was intended for.

When it's quite obviously aimed at kids and only kids, as opposed to their close relation, family-oriented stuff.

Genreally when I don't find it funny or I think its cheesy. But, by this theory SpongeBob Squarepants and Animainiacs aren't kiddie... And any other cartoon I like :3

Marketing and presentation. When I was an anklebiter we had Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, all that good stuff. Nowadays I turn on the tube of a morn and what do I see? Horrible Pokemon clones. You know the kind, where some spiky-haired kid has to collect cards and battle monsters. FOR SHAME.

Pixar: "Kiddie" film that affects me more profoundly than nearly any other.
Anything on a saturday morning: Mindless drivel.

So the latter then.

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

Antyhing I consider "below" me.

Below me.

Bewlow me..
Below me.

I've been drinking.

Mostly when it's aimed at kids. Sometimes family stuff, because the line is pretty fine.

I don't use it in a pejorative sense, though. "Kiddie" to me doesn't mean bad, it means aimed at or intended for kids.

Most of the stuff on TV in our day was crap, too. For every Thundercats, there were ten bad shows that were there just to sell toys.

I'm betting there's some decent kids' shows now, too. I'm just not going to look for them. And anime clones. If I had a nickel for every bad Voltron or Robotech clone on TV in the 80s, I could invest in a time machine, go back, start a network, and get rich all over again marketing crappy anime to kids.

When its way too much about hugs...or rap. Why rap? Well, I saw a commercial for some sort of build a bear things with little girls flashing gang signs. So yeah...

Plus the Mtv V"M"A's since its a bunch of black rappers and Justin Beiber. (<- more evidence rap is aimed at little girls now)

When whatever it is has no value whatsoever, other than to keep a screaming child from screaming. A lot of things that people consider childish are actually pretty deep, and we can all get something out of it. But then there are things which are just genuinely...'kiddie' I guess.

I tend to consider something as "kiddie" if it includes alot of bright colors and people or creatures looking very happy all the time.
